This. Your intentions are noble but misguided.



OK, so maybe I should have bundled all those names together under one number ... but I was making a point about how repetitive the whole business of making retrospective amateur diagnoses of dead people can get. I think IT's noble but misguided.


I agree with you. I was using "your" to refer to a hypothetical NT. hth. ^_^

123. In instances where the Aspie's AS is high-functioning to the point of not immediately being outwardly apparent, and he/she mentions and explains having it for purposes of your edification, respond by saying, "Oh, but you seem so normal!"

Not sure how many of you have experienced this, but I have, many times, and it never ceases to piss me off. I always feel like saying, "From my perspective, I am normal. It's the rest of the world that's strange."

133) Keep putting your foot on their desk, even when they turn around and yell at you to stop it.


I'm famous for that.

134) Never directly ask for help. Instead, mention that you will be doing something and assume that it will be understood that you are really asking for help with that task.

135) In a fast food line, spend all your time talking, and don't even think of what you want until you get to the front.
136) Interview everybody in your party before ordering.
137) Read the entire menu to someone on your cell phone before ordering.
138) Disappear in the middle of ordering.
139) Disappear when your order is ready, so they keep on calling your number
140) Talk loudly on your cell phone, when someone is standing right next to you

141) When waiting behind some awkward person that is waiting to order push in front of them and give them a look like they are inferior to you, then order your meal while in the middle of texting.
